Can you elaborate on what you need? We have documentation for both setting up AppFlowy for development locally, but also for self-hosting/cloud service.

See:
https://docs.appflowy.io/docs/documentation/appflowy/from-source
https://docs.appflowy.io/docs/documentation/appflowy-cloud/deployment
https://docs.appflowy.io/docs/guides/appflowy

As a beginner Flutter developer, I prefer not to use Rust for now. Is there a starting point I can clone to kickstart my work? And can I easily merge any future changes? Additionally, if I want to use Firebase as a backend, how do I go about integrating it, and how would I handle multiple users? Also, is there a simple video tutorial available that covers the basics and guides me through creating a mini project for university friends?

There are issues labeled as good first issue for devs. That should be a good starting point.

A point to be made is that you can't "avoid using" Rust, as our backend is embedded it is a requirement that it is available otherwise the Flutter application won't be able to function.

But as Emmggi mentions, it's possible to implement features and largely develop on the application without having to touch the Rust side of our application.

But as Emmggi mentions, it's possible to implement features and largely develop on the application _without_ having to touch the Rust side of our application.

I wanted to make my own small version of this app, and Maybe use firebase
to extend it, for auth, storage, and db.
